Religious stained glass comes in different shapes, sizes, and styles.

Religious stained glass comes in different shapes, sizes, and styles.

When you think of religious stained glass, you might picture an old cathedral somewhere in Europe with a series of massive, brightly colored stained glass windows that tell a story out of the bible. This is often true when it comes to religious stained glass, and one of the reasons stained glass became so popular in churches and cathedrals of old is that it was used to tell a story. Back in those days, many people did not read or write, and pictures brought the pastor’s sermon’s to life in a dazzling and emotional way.

The tradition of religious stained glass in churches, cathedrals, and all other types of houses of worship continues to this day. However, while the tradition remains intact, the art form has evolved through the centuries. These days, you are just as likely to find churches featuring gorgeous modern stained glass art as you are to see depictions of religious icons or biblical scenes. You are just as likely to see a geometric pattern or a floral pattern as you are to see a cross or other religious symbol.

The reason for this customization is simple.

Every church is unique, every congregation is unique, and that’s why at Fort Worth Stained glass we design and build custom religious stained glass windows based on each church’s specific design and sizing needs.

Uplifting and beautiful, it’s easy to see why this hand-crafted art form has stood the test of time. By the way, many stained glass windows in ancient churches, cathedrals and abbeys around the world have also stood the test of time, and remain intact and glorious to this day. At Fort Worth Stained Glass, we have over two decades of experience with religious stained glass and our pieces are also built with the highest quality materials and techniques – to last through the generations.

If your parishioners or new building committee would like to have a say in the design process as well, our computer CAD design program can offer an accurate rendering of exactly how your finished windows will look, ensuring everyone is on board with the design, patterns, and colors you choose.
